The Way #1
Wasteland
A raging fire devoured the world of the Ancients. Where once great cities stood, now there’s nothing but ruins submerged in the sand.
But even in this endless wasteland, there’s a place for life and hope. However, those who find new life here value nothing other than strength.
Enjoying his childhood, he paid no attention to the world, its secrets, or to those around him. Little did he know that his ignorance would be his undoing. Now, as an outcast looked down upon everyone, he has to endure humiliation as he stares into the eyes of the one who took everything from him. Life had taught him that the strong wouldn’t hesitate to stab the weak in the back.
But what if he became one of the strong? How much power would it take to avenge his father’s death? How much power would he need to bleed dry the bastard that took everything from him? Would the others learn their lesson, or would they, too, seek to get their revenge?

Not really a cultivation novel
I got 35% into it before I had to quit. When the MC decided to help a rabidly mean girl who didn't deserve his help when doing so was unnecessary and would possibly lead to his mom and sister getting killed. This after murdering a guy in vengeance. That guy had it coming and this girl didn't deserve his help. It didn't fit with his cautious and fair character.
I wouldn't have dropped it for this reason alone, but the story is so slow and plodding with nothing much happening at all, and definitely not any interesting thing. The magic or cultivation was just him imagining cultivating and no greater thought was put into the system. If he can imagine clear enough it works. Neither the system nor any characters bring the reader any joy. So nothing interesting happens for a hundred pages, no cultivation system but vague imaginings, and then I have to suffer through the MC acting out of character after hiding his strength and suffering a life of poverty and bullying to help some scum who hates him. No thanks. I'd have to be a masochist to continue reading further. For the reader it's a slog with no reward, and perhaps even punishment for the time invested. I don't know if it's the translation or the original writing itself, but it happens every couple pages that I have no idea what the author us talking about. A new word, a sentence out of place, a conversation that sprouts from nowhere, half the time I can't tell who is talking or who is being talked to. It's too slice of life. Not enough interesting or fun or creative and too much terrible and unfair. In other words, this is barely a fantasy novel, and is the leanest cultivation novel I've read. Only the barest minimum of anything that could be called cultivation or magic occurs. It's really a novel about poverty, bullying, and corruption, not cultivation. It's a joyless Dickensian novel with an underdeveloped cultivation theme added as almost an afterthought.

I hate it.
Wuxia is supposed to be a progression fantasy. This is not it.

Rating 3.5 stars
It had potential but ended up being sort of generic. The world building wasn't that great. I know it was a dystopian world and there were mentions of the "ancients" and their artifacts but not a lot about how or why. The MC is an 11 year old boy living in a very poor town near the wastelands called the zero circle. Him and his family are shunned and treated like crap. The reason given doesn't make that much sense. The abuse the other boys in the town give to him is over-the-top and it is hard to believe nobody does anything about it. The characters are very much one dimensional. The MC has found a way to get training in cultivation which everyone was supposed to be allowed when they turned 10 but he wasn't allowed by the town leader. He gets a manual but no help and has to learn how to do it on his own. Overall I was emotionally invested enough in the MC his plight and the ending to say it was an enjoyable read. I am not sure about following the series though, unless the cultivation parts gets a whole lot better in the next book. The MC had stated goals in the beginning of this book and achieved them by the end. I am not sure what his goals are for the next one so not sure if I will like it.

A really good book.
This story was pretty good as I liked the dystopian apocalypse world. The MC is very you g so it is interesting to see how he develops. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Solid first book.
A good wuxia book with a unique apocalypse style setting. The main character is very young and makes and learns from his mistakes while climbing the ranks of cultivation. Would recommend to fans of cradle, coiling Dragon and painting the mists.

This review is done from the audiobook which was very well narrated by Gary Bennett.
After what seems like dozens of junk books and no vision authors, this book was a tremendous step back into the reasons I like reading.
The story is at once engaging with good pace and development. The story is gratefully written in first person with a rather limited Main Character POV. Some of us really get annoyed with stories that bounce around and I personally hate stories where the author writes in multiple types of tense and/or perspective. Can you believe I've read several stories where the book is written in first person, and then jumps to third person or even to several other first person POVs?! I'd expect that level of writing from a pre-teen (no offense to adolescents).
The dialog is quick and actually sounds as if you're listening to people actually talking. The world is direct and while having the cultivation of wuxia, it thankfully lacks the VR elements of LitRPG! So you feel enveloped in a true novel.
In this first book (the only one I've listened to at this point) the author hasn't made the MC an overpowered being with magical godlike powers, or knowledge that just appears out of nowhere without any development. I'm so sick of the half-assed kindergarten style of writing, "I shot you!" "NO you didn't, I had my forcefield up!" This book is refreshing in that the growth, cultivation if you will, isn't preposterous, assumed, aggrandized, out of the blue, whomp-stomp-screw-everyone, kind of garbage that most books are these days.
It's been quite awhile since I've actually wanted to read a sequel. I'm desperately hoping the author remains true and continues excellent work along "The Way."

Alert
First, my review: “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
Second, I am not a bot...at least I don’t think I am. Yes this is copy pasta (just learned that term, so fun!) simply because I feel like any book I read deserves acknowledgement but at the same time my feelings on reviews conflict with the normal review process.
I enjoyed this book, so my goal is to promote it and help the author. If you are a potential reader, just stop reading now and take the above as all you need to know. I am not going to share my reasoning, thoughts on the book, or any opinions that would influence your decision to read it. It is my opinion that Art needs to be experienced at an individual level. You are the only one that can determine what you like and don’t like. Don’t let others make that decision for you. You should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews. Or not if you don’t think this book is for you. That choice is all yours and the beauty of art appreciation. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
If you are a member of the IAK Guild (thanks, Jason) or part of the review police, feel free to criticize me and challenge my philosophy on reviewing art. I think we all love a good debate. The forums are open and I welcome your comments. I was wrong in my previous request to get you to stop. Your blatant disregard for that request has led to some fun discussions. Growth is important for us all.
Cheers

Difficult read
This is not written in a Western style. The narrative can be a bit confusing and convoluted at times. There is almost no momentum or force to drive the plot.
The bullying that is constant is also difficult to read. It’s so open and accepted as to be disgusting.
There really isn’t a lot of development on the cultivation aspect. Very vague and sparse information.
A few typos. Some odd word choices (“glew”? That’s not a past tense of glow. Made me chuckle, though).
I chose 4 stars because it has a lot of depth to the world-building and it stayed very true to its fundamentals.

What is wrong with letting your characters enjoy some good times, a few laughs, a jolly jape or two? If your answer is, “Everything!” then you will feel a certain satisfaction from grimly plodding your way through this book, nodding sadly and sucking your teeth every now and then. Have fun! Or rather, don’t.

Erratic chapters and lack of development on any level.
This is some of the lowest grade writing I have had the misfortune of reading. The author is unable to keep any idea throughout a paragraph.

This is the first book I've read by this author, even though he's put out a number of books.
The book is set in Circle Zero, where all the rejects are sent who aren't able to become warriors. Resources are scarce and many people in the circle spend their time out gathering food, herbs, dried grass, and other things for the circle.
The outcasts of the tribe are a mother and son (and a younger daughter, although we don't see her much). Their husband/father was killed by the circle elder and an alchemist, and now they are on their own. The boy is humiliated and given harder tasks than everyone else in the circle, as is his mother, but they bear this stoically.
Eventually, the boy sees the older boys in the village training to become warriors. To be counted as a warrior, one has to reach level ten. The boy starts out very low at level three, and slowly progresses from there.
I won't spoil what happens next. The problem I had is that the book is advertised as wuxia. There is a similarity, but we never see exactly what the boy does to level up. Sure, he meditates, and tries not to focus on his muscles like the older boys but on his core and meridians. We follow his progress, but we never get to see how it actually works. For a book that is set in a dry wasteland (think Charlton Heston after he finds the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes, where the world was destroyed by nuclear bombs), we need something more to keep things moving.
Maybe that happens in later books, but not in this one. I got through it, but I had to push to finish the book. The editing is okay, and except for the leveling to become a warrior the stats are rarely seen.
I'm sure the series gets better (all but the sixth book were written when I wrote this) but I think I'll move on to something different.
4/5*

No real cultivation story more of a rather naive and dull fairy tale.
The protagonist just meditates and fools around for ages for himself but ends up as a "perfect" cultivator somehow. I almost put the book down when the "hero" decides to have to teach an unpleasant girl with a loose mouth "cultivation" for no real reason thus endangering his own family.
The book is rather dull and boring as nothing important seems to happen. Everything keeps turning about collecting dung, gras and stones and watering plants. Unfortunately, i was no fan of the few fight scenes either as the protagonist fights without skill and keeps winning through plot armor alone.

Good story... But soooo slow
I like the story, except the mc totally annoyed the crap out of me because he sealed his cultivation until the very last minute. And the story really took a long time to get to the climax... I mean really dragggged on. Plus there's no follow up after an event. For instance, when he saves his mother and kills the beast it just jumps to being in the village afterwards. At least say some thing like "I gathered up my mom and we headed to the village" or something along those lines. It just feels unfinished and anticlimactic. But I still give it 4.5 stars since I want the story to keep going.

Not Much
Not much here. Very hard to follow in places and pretty shallow emotionally unless you're into anger...and only poorly captured anger. The flow is stuttering, very similar to pieces that are originally written in a different language and then go through a bad translation to English. Unfortunately it's not just the writing/translation but the logic that can make the story challenging. I was very hopeful I'd found a new author but think I'll keep looking. Well written in areas with a good basis for a story but then hits walls where you're asking yourself who's talking & why, and what just happened.

This coming-of-age cultivation story manages to entertain despite its bad grammar. It was tough to make it through the first third of the book with all of its bullying, bastardization, and betrayal.
The author fails to emphasize the critical moments of development and strategy - instead forcing the reader's attention to dwell on the plentiful action scenes. Given the flaws, it's amazing the book is as good as it is, which just goes to show that there's a good story-teller here, who just needs to hone his craft.

Fresh take on wuxia but a little slow
For a storyline built around revenge it takes a while to get to any face slapping. I have to admit to skipping a few chapters, though I’m glad I stuck with it through to the ending.
Otherwise the MC is smart and resourceful. He’s a likable person with believable flaws and character growth.
The setting is odd but in a good way, tribal/saharan cultivation. It broke the genre’s mould hard enough that I had no idea what was going to come next.

A passable story
Nothing grand about this story. It’s extremely slow paced and doesn’t flow well. If you are looking for an action packed adventure this is definitely not it. There is some artwork in some chapters but none of it has anything to do with the story, just random drawings. Even the cover art is unrelated to anything in the story. I may read the next book and hope it’s better.

I liked the book, but...
It's grammar needs a serious amount of work. The translation, while being accurate, needs rearranging for English readers. There are a lot of mistakes.
The plot and characters, I liked. The world was harsh and unforgiving, yet intriguing.
Hopefully the next book is more aligned.

good, but…
The writing was good, but it was hard to get that excited about the MC or that angry about the antagonists. The path to “ascension” isn’t that unique. An angry underdog on a path of revenge is ok, but it would be a better story with more focus on mechanics of levels and growth vs how people are pushing down on those weaker.

Just what I was craving
This story pulled me in from the beginning. I loved that we learn of Legard’s plight over the course of the book, and yet, I never felt confused, or out of the loop - that’s often a very fine line, but it was brilliantly pulled off here.
I’m excited to see how things develop for Legard and his family.

Gritty cultivation
It took a bit for me to sink my teeth into the setting, and it was really easy to forget the main characters age, but this was a great gritty cultivation novel. I’m excited to see what’s next.

I enjoyed reading this book. The main character is a bit of a hothead, but the author does a great job of not letting that overly affect his decision making. All in all, this was a great book

Excellent first book
Really solid first effort. The characters and world building are solid. I really like the MC although it’s a bit hard to believe that he could be so coldly calculating at age 11. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next.

Jumped around a little bit and was sometimes hard to follow. There were entire pages that seemed to not have anything to do with the plot. Having said that. I loved the story i thought it was fantastic and can't wait to see what happens next.

Real world and gritty
This is a cultivation novel set in a post apocalyptic future. Unlike many other cultivation novel , MC is not OP ,everything is hard earned. Levelling and enemies are realistic. Can’t wait to read the nexts book

Grimdark Story
This story of a genius of cultivating boy starting on the path of revenge for his father’s murder was Fantastic. He hides his strength for two years until he strikes, and has to endure a lot of bullying. Can’t wait for the next book.

Great start to an epic
I liked the cultivation system so far. The building is good. Looking forward to reading the next book. I gave 5 stars due to the story coding of loose ends before moving on.

January 8, 2023I just couldn't get into this one at all. I don't know if its just because im not in the mood for such a slow start or if this book is especially boring and due to that i will not be rating this in stars. 2/10
